Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 pinch salt
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pound ground turkey
• nonstick cooking spray
• ¾ cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 pinch pepper
• ½ teaspoon adobo seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine ground turkey, egg, parsley, bread crumbs, adobo, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Press half of the turkey mixture into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese in a mound down the center of the pan; top with the remaining meat to form a loaf.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, about 1 hour. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. Allow cooked meatloaf to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
